"Margot Noble bit her lip so she wouldn't scream. "I know that
Uncle Stan never had parties here," she said to her brother, as
calmly as she could. "But I'm suggesting that we do something
different this year. Shake it up a little. It's the twenty-fifth
anniversary of Noble Family Vineyards, and I think it's worthy of
celebration. A party for our wine club members and other paying
guests seems like a perfect way to do it." By the look on
Elliot's face it was like she'd suggested turning the vineyard
into a corn maze. "This sounds like a huge a of hassle,
Margot," Elliot said. "You want to have this party here? Why
would we do something like that?" She'd known Elliot would hate
this idea. "First, like I said, it's the anniversary-I know we've
never really celebrated it, but it seems like a great year to do
it. Second, our wine club members and visitors to the winery have
been asking me for a while why we never have parties here,
especially since we have such a great space, so I think people
would be excited to come. Third, it's excellent marketing for us
and our wines-it'll sell some wine, give us some great publicity,
get people here who haven't been to the tasting room before, and
keep them coming back. And it'll add members to our wine club."
She hoped. "And fourth, it might earn us some money- we'll charge
a fee for the party, and parties like this tend to sell a bunch
of wine anyway, so it'll be a win/win." Elliot's face closed up.
She knew what he was thinking. He still thought of the winery as
his. He'd been the one who had worked here for ten years, not
her. Well, they'd owned the winery together since their uncle had
died and left it to the two of them, almost three years ago. It
felt like Elliot would never get used to that"--
An intoxicating and sparkling new romance by New York Times
bestselling author Jasmine Guillory.
Margot Noble needs some from the stress of running the
family winery with her brother. Enter Luke: sexy, charming, and
best of all in the too-small world of Napa, a stranger. The
chemistry between them is undeniable, and Margot is delighted
that she lucked into the perfect one-night stand she'll never
have to see again. That is, until the winery's newest hire, Luke,
walks in the next morning. Margot is determined to keep things
purely professional, but when their every interaction reminds her
of the attraction still bubbling between them, it proves to be
much more challenging than she expects.
Luke Williams had it all, but when he quits his high-salary tech
job in Silicon Valley in a blaze of burnout and moves back to
Napa to help a friend, he realizes he doesn't want to tell the
world--or his mom--why he's now working at a winery. His mom
loves bragging about her successful son--how can he admit that
the job she's so proud of broke him? Luke has no idea what is
next for him, but one thing is certain: he wants more from the
incredibly smart and sexy woman he hooked up with--even after he
learns she's his new boss. But even if they can find a way to be
together that wouldn't be an ethical nightmare, would such a
successful woman really want a tech-world dropout?
Set against a lush backdrop of Napa Valley wine country, nothing
goes to your head as fast as a taste of love--even if it means
changing all your plans. An intoxicating and sparkling new
romance by New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory.
